The Huffington Post recently released its “world’s hottest museums for 2014″ and three familiar places in the state were on the list: Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville and Esse Purse Museum on South Main in downtown Little Rock.
The Post touts Crystal Bridges’ “new architectural element,” the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Bachman Wilson House in Millstone, N.J., which is being moved to the museum grounds. As for the Purse Museum, here is what they to say about it: “Set in an emerging neighborhood filled with boutiques and trendy eateries, Esse Purse Museum celebrates the art and history of women’s handbags. And the best part is that it sells fabulous purses too.”
Bentonville’s 21c Museum Hotel also made the cut.
The international list also features the City of the Ocean in Biarritz, France, and BioMuseo in Panama City, Panama, plus several others.
